We’re very pleased to be a part of the PEN America/CLMP Indie Lit Fair! https://pen.org/indie-lit-fair-vol-five/

So, we’re having a sale. Use the code PENTHREE for $3 off any book, or PENFIFTY to get a bundle of all four of our current books for $50. That’s a $65 value!

This collection centers on the long illness and decline of a mother and the emotional challenges and fractures among her family. Visually and sonically inventive, these poems use the loneliness of rural Ohio roads, the disturbing environment of a nursing home, and  the suffocation of working class life to set the eerie mood.

Thank you to all who sent us manuscripts. We have begun reading them and plan to have our 2020-2021 titles chosen by mid-June.

Our next book, (My Life, and Other) Train Wrecks of Ohio by Bill Abbott, will be available  in early January 2020.
